Description: TORCH books. Hardcover. Pp: 112. In the past few years, TERRY RODGERS has emerged as one of America`s most talented figurative painters. Thanks to a brilliant technique combining effortless brushstrokes and elaborate compositions, his paintings compel the viewer to participate in a disenchanted world where beauty, sex and money do not seem to bring happiness. In Rodgers` world of appearances, the real wealth lies in the art of painting. The Apotheosis of Pleasure, published by TORCH Books of Amsterdam, is the first comprehensive full-color catalogue to feature the work of this artist who will surely be recognized as on of the most important painters of the early 21st century. More than 60 works " selected in conjunction with the artist " present the full scope of Rodgers` latest endeavour at portraying contemporary body politics.

A short erotic tale, The Absent, by internationally best-selling French writer ALINA REYES (The Politics of love, The Butcher), invites the viewer to share a passionate and feminine experience of Rodgers` work while also becoming the inspiration for performing our own story-telling based on Rodgers` paintings. In The Apotheosis of Pleasure, young and upcoming Belgian art critic CATHERINE SOMZÉ (sets Rodgers` work against the backdrop of cultural theories and establishes a possible archaeology of its iconography.
